Used For Occasional Constipation
Description:
This formulation is a balanced electrolyte-based osmotic laxative designed for effective bowel cleansing prior to colonoscopy or surgical procedures, and for the treatment of constipation.
Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (PEG) acts as an osmotic agent, retaining water in the colon to soften stools and increase bowel movements.
The inclusion of electrolytes (Sodium Chloride, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Potassium Chloride) helps to maintain electrolyte balance and prevent dehydration during the cleansing process.
This combination offers a safe, well-tolerated, and non-absorbed mechanism for complete bowel evacuation without causing significant fluid or electrolyte shifts.
